Eve Roper Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

To Honor My Hero

To honor my hero. 
    A wee superhero. 
      Has shoplifted my heart 
        Autistic, but so smart. 

  Place him in shopping cart
    Grandma can we see toys; 
      He makes such welcome noise.
         Look at that,

  Look at that. 
    Look at the bubble, 
     A bubble in a bubble. 
        Bubbles going faster. 

  My living-room a disaster. 
    A wee superhero the master, 
      He came into my life 
        In a time of bitter strife.

  My wee bug
    Welcomes with bear hugs. 
      To honor my Hero
        A wee superhero.

Panagiota Romios July 25, 2022 at 10:37 AM May you win. A fave for me, too. Picture is awesome! As is your heart, dear one. My days with my hero are over. In high school and headed for the MLB. He just got back from Tennessee where he got special pitching lessons at the University of Tennessee. I miss the days when he was smaller. Panagiota xxx Beata added comments to Tribute to Eve Roper that I wrote a while back! Check it out.

Victor Buhagiar July 23, 2022 at 1:40 AM What a lovely boy. Pity he got hurt as I learned later. Best for a win. Hugs. Eve Roper July 23, 2022 at 12:46 PM Yes, he did. The child got suspended for pushing him into a chair and splitting his cheek open. The black eye looks bad I am glad it wasn't worse. Hope you are doing well....

Valsa George July 22, 2022 at 10:17 PM Love your super hero ! He deserves all attention and praise ! I like him placed in a shopping cart ! All the best in the contest, Eve. Eve Roper July 23, 2022 at 12:48 PM Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Valsa. I sometimes allow him to walk by myside, but he gets too anxious and tries to wonder off, so I have to keep a close range on him.

Kim Rodrigues July 22, 2022 at 12:00 PM Aww…he is a doll! Eve Roper July 22, 2022 at 12:11 PM I am so very Proud of him. Thank you, Kim.

L Milton Hankins July 22, 2022 at 10:45 AM Eve, how very blessed you are to have this young man in your life. He seems delightful. You have written a fine tribute he'll always remember. Eve Roper July 23, 2022 at 12:52 PM It's his Autism that makes him repeat, Like the third stanza. He loves his bubbles. When I say please be quiet he interns whispers the same sentence a few more times until something else takes his interest. I've started carrying my iPad so he can occupy himself with it. L Milton Hankins July 22, 2022 at 3:34 PM I think he must want to make sure you heard him correctly! Eve Roper July 22, 2022 at 12:12 PM He repeats all his sentences , but I love him. Thank you, Milton.
